An old tramp who had agreed to

breakfast and less wood are you will

replied and she left the case in the
hands of her bulldog, who run the
tramp half a mile and decided that a
lockout was inevitable.

Why is it that three bottles of B. B. B.,
are sold in Atlanta to one of any other
blood remedy, and twice as much consumed
in the State of Georgia as any other prepar-
alton? No one need take our word but
simply ask the druggists. Ask the people.
They are competent witnesses. Six houses
in Atlanta are buying B. B. B., in five and
ten gross lots, and some of them buy as
often as every two or three months. Why
these unprecedented sales here at home
with so little advertising ? Modesty forbids
us making a reply. Had B. B. B., been be.
fore the public a quarter or half a century,
it would not be necessary to be bolstered
up with crutches of page advertisements
now. Merit will conquer and down money.

The amendment Mr.. Parnell offered
to the Queens speech was rejected aft
er debate by a vote OF 246 ayes to
352 noes. The negativevote probably
represented all shades OF politics who
are not prepared for the establish.
ment of local government in Ireland.
The proposition OF Mr.. Parnell was,
in effect, that when rents had been
reasonable landlords had experienced
no unusal trouble in collecting their:
dues. But the landlord view of the
proposition was that if tenants might
determine what was reasonable rent
the rates held,to be fair one year
might be reduced a succeeding year.
In view Of the fact that the House oi

Heavy Weights in Congress.

ANSSSA AAtSSS1Ch"
Barnes of Georgia is the heaviest
man in the House. He tipps the
scales at over 800 pounds and Is the
happiest and most contented heshy
man in public life. Barnes says he
would not take 81, 900 g. pound for
his flesh, and he claims that he is per.
fectly contented as he is. He weighs
himself regularly, and when he finds
that he has gained in weight he halls
the fact as an omen Of good luck. A
decrease, on the other hand, fills him
with apprehension. Barnes is law
yer who had great reputation in his
own State long before he came to Con-
gress. He can come back for the rest
OF his life ii ho will only consent, as his
district is nearly solidly for him. Tom
Reed OF Maine is another fat man in
the House Hsis not as big as Barnes,
but he is fully as 9ood.natured and
contented with his heroic size. Reed
loves to joke in private purely and
solely tor tho opportunity Of enjoying
an entirely different kind OF an indi-:
vidual. He makes Jokes, it is true,'
but are always tinged with bitter sar-:
casm or CALLING irony, and consequent;
ly he has obtained no reputation as al
humorist pure and simple. Sawyer
and Stanford are the portliest men in
the Senate. Sawyer sports corpor-
alton that would do credit to any
alderman, and he is a good natured.
but not witty Senator. He loves to-
gossip with his associates and he id
the one man in the upper branch who
stands ready to assist friend. fnan-
cially or otherwise. Sawyer never
makes a speech. He couldn't if he
tried, and that is probably thereason
he never makes the attempt.

4,030. Last year the record sudden.

the like period just preceding and 58s

the bill passed.
Senator Platt-The bill clearly prohibits
discrimination in passengers as well as in
freights on oil lines from one state to
another. 1t is a discrimination to issue
passes.
Senator Wilson of Iowa-Since I have
been a member of the senate have not
accepted a pass I would voluntarily sur.
render them and not put conductors on
railroad trains to the trouble OF taking
them up, as undoubtedly it would be their
duty to do.
Senator Spooner-I have always trav-
eled on passes. l do not think any less
OF myself for having done so. Since have
been in the senate, however, I have paid
my fare on railroads more than formerly;
not from principle, but for convenience
because l wanted to ride on limited ex-
press trains, and on those trains they will
not accept passes. Under the bill, as
understand it, the railroads have no right
to issue passes. Hereafter, I shall accept
none except ON roads in my own state.
